Ninole Vacations from $591

Good place. The host was courteous and knowledgeable. Treated us to a good breakfast.

Jon was an excellent, friendly, and helpful host who even offered to buy groceries for us when he went to Hilo. The inn was conveniently located next to the Volcano National Forest, which we visited often.

Lovely property - charming rooms. You do hear noise from adjacent rooms. Rooms with gas fireplace are cozy. The atmosphere has changed. Previous owners retired before COVID hit, and the new owners made changes that take away from how special this place once was. The most obvious change is in the food. Breakfast is now served in a small basement room. No staff was seen. Supposedly a hot item was to be served daily but unless creamed rice is what they considered to be it, there was nothing. Scant continental fare. Disappointing on every level and on pare with a budget chain hotel offering. Even the dinner in the restaurant was sub par. It used to be really nice, special even Now it's ordinary to downright bad. My pasta was so greasy I was able to pour butter and grease out of it into my bread plate (no bread is served). My waitress noticed how bad it was and took it off the bill but that should never have happened. This place used to be a gem. Now, not so much

Fantastic location with very nice and helpful owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage here. Highly recommended.
